Landing physics: float in ground effect

Ground effect in MSFS feels unrealistically strong and aircraft “float” excessively on landing. I couldn’t find a thread specifically about this, so wanted to start one here to discuss. It’s hard to quantify, but in many cases (particularly in the TBM and CJ4) it feels like you have to reduce pitch to touch down at normal speeds without floating the length of the runway. In other words, angle of attack at touchdown, at normal touchdown speeds, is significantly lower in the sim than in reality. …

[BUG LOGGED] No wind gusts for Live Weather, broken for both PC and Xbox

I’m not getting any wind gust regardless of how I set the slider. The regular wind acts properly and changes along with the slider position I set for it. But no change with the gust slider at all. Also, the “Wind Graph” box is blank (pic attached). I change the gust speed and change gust per minute, but they make no difference at all. The wind effect in the sim stays as set on the top section. Bottom section for gust is ignored and no wind data gets displayed in the Wind Graph box at all. …

Suggestions for Improving Ground-Based Turbulence

In a Dev Q&A a few months ago, Seb mentioned that turbulence in the sim had been designed to respond to the underlying ground cover. For example, airflow over mountains and trees will be more turbulent than airflow over a body of water. For flights near ground level, this effect is excellent and very welcome. But I’ve noticed that the same effect continues at much higher altitudes – something that is very unrealistic. Also, the turbulence generated by irregular ground does not appear to be prope…
